We had each others back
Syncing around in circles
Sometimes breaking away
To be swooped up to another sphere
Completing the thought
Moving beyond the edge
To be included once more.
-Elizabeth Hipwell
We were originally known as SILENT VOICES and were affiliated with a Mental Health Organization.
SILENT VOICES SPEAK started out as Silent Voices: A Writer’s Workshop, as the first group at the drop-in center at the Broadway location of Community Counseling Centers of Chicago, whose purpose is to empower it’s attendees to form and attend their own groups.
We have branched out as an independent entity. We are silent no more. We say yes to the creative possibilities of life & art...
The mission of SILENT VOICES SPEAK is to give a voice to people who are disenfranchised. Many of the participants in SILENT VOICES SPEAK are also visual and/or performing artists.
Membership is open to all.
